The Board of Directors of the Company, Thomas Cook Insurance Services (India) Limited (“”TCISIL””) & Sterling Holiday Resorts (India) Limited (Sterling) had at their meetings held on 7 February 2014 approved a composite scheme of arrangement and amalgamation (Scheme) pursuant to which there was (i) a demerger of the resort and timeshare business from Sterling to TCISIL, and (ii) amalgamation of residual Sterling into the Company.

 

Pursuant to the scheme, (i) 116 equity shares of paid up value INR 1/- each of the Company were to be issued to the shareholders of Sterling for every 100 equity shares held in Sterling of paid up value of INR 10/- in consideration of the demerger of the resort and timeshare business of Sterling from Sterling to TCISIL; and (ii) 4 equity shares of the Company of paid up value of INR 1/- each were to be issued to the shareholders of Sterling for every 100 equity shares held in Sterling of paid value of INR 10/- in consideration of the amalgamation of residual Sterling into the Company.

 

The Hon’ble High Court of Madras sanctioned the Scheme of Sterling on 13 April 2015, while the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay sanctioned the Scheme of the Company and TCISIL on 2 July 2015. The High Court Order was fi led with the Registrar of Companies, Mumbai on 18 August 2015 and thus, the scheme is effective from 1 April 2014 (Appointed date).

 

After obtaining statutory approvals, the Company completed the process of allotment of 48,657,929 equity shares of Re. 1/- each to the shareholders of Sterling in pursuance of the Scheme on 3 September 2015 as per the above swap ratio.

Pursuant to the scheme becoming effective, net assets of residual Sterling amounting to INR 25.3 as on 1 April 2014 have been taken over and Goodwill of INR 446.3 has been recorded after giving effect to the scheme.”

 

 

OVERVIEW

 

Travel and tourism has now become the largest civilian industry in the world. According to statistics, one out of every ten persons worldwide is part of the travel and tourism industry.

 

There have been changes in lifestyle, tastes, rising household incomes, which has had a positive effect and boost to the industry. The reach of the Internet has made it more convenient for customers with greater choices at competitive rates.

 

International traffic is expected to expand at 10-12% in 2017 and 2018, but bilateral restrictions may preclude achieving true potential. Most of the ten largest international carriers are achieving year-round average load factors of 90% or higher, indicating constrained capacity. As per The International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global passenger traffic rose by 6.3% for 2016 compared to 2015. This strong performance was well ahead of the ten-year average annual growth of 5.5% and capacity increasing by 6.2%.

 

Air travel was a good news story in 2016. Connectivity increased with the establishment of more than 700 new routes. Fall in average return fares helped to make air travel even more accessible. As a result, a record 3.7 billion passengers flew to their destinations. Demand for air travel is stillxpanding. The challenge for governments is to work with the industry to meet that demand with infrastructure that can accommodate the growth, regulation that facilitates growth and taxes that don’t choke the growth.

 

Asia has become the epicenter of growth for business travel. The region is already the world’s largest market, accounting for more than a third of US$ 1 trillion in annual spending globally, and growth over the next few years is expected to dwarf that of other markets. By one estimate between 2014 and 2018, business travel spending in Asia is projected to grow four times as fast as in North America and more than twice as fast as in Europe.

 

Travel and tourism is one of the largest service industries in India. It has tremendous potential as one of its key contributors to growth of the nation. India has emerged as the world’s fastest–growing outbound market and in absolute numbers it is second only to China. The year 2016-17 was definitely a year full of action, from Brexit, to Demonetization, stringent Visa policies by certain countries etc. Despite the sluggish global economy, poor customer sentiment and a challenging geo-political environment buffeted by terrorist attacks, travel bans etc., the Indian outbound, inbound and domestic tourism markets remained resilient. Given the challenges and economic environment, the year saw a strong performance across the Company’s portfolio.

 

The Company has moved rapidly in strengthening the online business over the last few years which currently contributes approximately 17% of the overall Leisure Travel business - uniquely positioning it in the industry with a versatile hybrid model with a well-spread store network and a very robust online business model, both of which, acquire and service offline and online customers.

 

Acquiring or reaching out to customers online has also helped us in reducing their cost of acquisition, while giving customers a seamless experience across all channels, resulting in improved customer satisfaction. With an intent to building an annual property, we also introduced a mega promotional campaign called the GRAND INDIAN HOLIDAY SALE which customers could look forward to as it gave them unbeatable offers nudging them to take up a holiday. It was a 10-day sale across online and offline channels, backed by promotions across Print, Outdoor & Digital, which saw a close to 100% surge in online traffic and walk-ins at the stores during the campaign period.

 

EXPANDING NETWORK

 

E-COMMERCE

The online channel now caters to all travel needs of the discerning traveller, like International Holidays, India Holidays, Foreign Exchange, Visa, Flights, Hotels and Travel Insurance. Considering the next-gen mobile audience, Thomas Cook’s E-Business had successfully launched innovative mobile applications i.e. the Forex App & the Holiday App. Its Forex and Holiday Apps has seen over 25%  month over-month growths on downloads organically. Over 20% of sales of the online channel are contributed through Mobile web & apps. The Company’s belief and endeavor has been to give its customers a seamless omni-channel experience where the customer would get the same response to his sales or service queries and to achieve the same the Company has begun its journey in investing in the right technological innovations and enhancements. This year, the Company took another leap and extended its line of “Simply” products (value for money products) to East Europe, Switzerland, France, Italy, Greece, Spain and many more destinations.

 

 

THE MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

TRAVEL AND TOURISM INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

The Travel and Tourism industry is a diversity of businesses, services, organizations and communities encompassing domestic, inbound, and outbound travel for business, leisure, MICE, visiting friends and relatives, spiritual or business leisure and hence its stakeholders include businesses, governmental agencies, educational institutions, communities, and citizens across the globe.

 

The contribution of the industry to each country is significant- both economic and social development; opening up business, trade and capital investment, creating jobs and an entrepreneurial workforce and protecting heritage and cultural values. Today, tourism is a major source of income for many countries, impacting the economy of both the source and host

countries.

 

International tourism now represents 7% of the world’s exports in goods and services and tourism has grown faster than world trade over the past four years. As a worldwide export category, tourism ranks third (after fuels and chemicals and ahead of food and automotive products). In many developing countries, tourism ranks as the first export sector.

 

The United Nations World Tourism Organisation’s (UNWTO) World Tourism Barometer highlighted that close to 1 billion international tourists travelled in the first 9 months of 2016. Developments in technology and infrastructure, entry of low-cost airlines, eVisas, etc. have made tourism more affordable with a rise in disposable income and brag-worthiness of travel fuelling demand. The WHO estimated that there are around half a million people on board aircraft at any given time.

 

There have also been changes in lifestyle, tastes, rising household incomes, which has been a positive effect and boost to the industry. Further the industry is supported by e-commerce and m-commerce of various services, which makes it easy, accessible and convenient for customers, offering them greater choice at competitive rates.

 

Most of the ten largest international carriers are achieving year-round average load factors of 90% or higher, indicating constrained capacity.

 

As per The International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global passenger traffic rose by 6.3% for 2016 compared to 2015. Air travel was a good news story in 2016. Connectivity increased with the establishment of more than 700 new routes. Fall in average return fares helped to make air travel even more accessible. As a result, a record 3.7 billion passengers flew to their destinations. While demand for air travel is still expanding, the challenge for governments is to work with the industry to meet that demand with infrastructure that can accommodate the growth, regulation that facilitates growth and taxes that don’t choke the growth.

 

Asia has become the epicenter of growth for business travel. The region is already the world’s largest market, accounting for more than a third of US$ 1 trillion in annual spending globally, and growth over the next few years is expected to dwarf that of other markets. By one estimate between 2014 and 2018, business travel spending in Asia is projected to grow four times as fast as in North America and more than twice as fast as in Europe

 

INDIAN TRAVEL, TOURISM AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE INDUSTRY

 

Travel and tourism is one of the largest service industries in India and has tremendous potential as one of the key contributors to the growth of the nation. India has emerged as the world’s fastest–growing outbound market and in absolute numbers it is second only to China. India is enroute to becoming the world’s fastest growing e-commerce market with the second largest number of internet users in the world and holiday e-commerce sales are likely to grow at a phenomenal rate. Retail inflation has softened due to declining oil prices and weak domestic demand. Easing inflationary pressures strengthened the impact of reasonable liquidity conditions on market interest rates.

 

“Athiti Devo Bhava”, (their guest is equivalent to their god), is the ethos of Indian culture and the catch-line of the Ministry of Tourism’s Incredible India campaign. The recently released data from the ministry shows a healthy rise in foreign tourists arriving in India. Tourism is a major component of India’s foreign exchange earnings.

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

 

The Company continues to invest in IT, leveraging it as a source of competitive advantage. The Company has enhanced the technology platform to continuously augment functionalities in all channels including website, call center, branches and mobile and also strengthen delivery capabilities and technology infrastructure.

 

The Company’s investments in its IT infrastructure support various business applications and the internet is the primary medium to connect remote users to the business applications with necessary security. The Company is investing in capabilities that will help to reach out and engage with the customer; using mobile technology.

 

The company has also made investments in a new robust web site platform to harness the power of the internet and e-commerce. These capabilities will not only increase the number of customers that can be reached but also dramatically change in which the Company engages with them in a personalized manner. The Company is also leveraging the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to create an effective omni-channel for making customer experience more seamless.

 

The technology landscape is undergoing significant changes driven by rapid growth in mobility, cloud computing and big data analytics. The Company will continue to invest in innovations and ensure that its technology systems evolve in line with new trends and deliver value to its customers. Customer Booking, Sales (On Tablet) & Tour Managers (On Tablet) applications were launched to engage customers using the mobility platform.
